Botox

Reduce Wrinkles and Get Results That Last

Botox® injections reduce muscle activity, temporarily preventing the contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. You see natural-looking results that last up to four months. Best of all, untreated muscles still operate normally and your overall ability to form facial expressions remains intact, so you’ll still be able to face the world with a smile.

How Does Botox Work?

Over time, the muscles above and between the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, causing wrinkles. Botox blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. Treatments generally take just 10 to 20 minutes, although treatment times can vary from person to person. You can expect to see results after just one treatment.

Are Botox Treatments Safe?

Botox is proven safe and effective. The most common side effects are nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation and nausea. You should wait at least 90 days between treatments.
